Frequently asked questions

What is Methotrexaat Sandoz used for?+
Methotrexaat Sandoz contains methotrexate, an antimetabolite used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, non‑Hodgkin lymphoma and ectopic pregnancy. It works by modifying disease‑driving immune processes and by inhibiting the growth of rapidly dividing cancer cells.
How does methotrexate work?+
Methotrexate blocks the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, reducing tetrahydrofolate levels needed for DNA, RNA and protein synthesis. This limits the proliferation of immune and cancer cells. The drug also increases extracellular adenosine, which dampens inflammatory signalling pathways.
What is the usual dose of Methotrexaat Sandoz?+
The dose of Methotrexaat Sandoz is individualized. A qualified prescriber determines the amount, frequency and duration based on the specific condition, patient weight, renal function and other clinical factors. No standard dosing regimen is provided here.
Is Methotrexaat Sandoz safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Methotrexaat Sandoz is contraindicated in pregnancy because it can cause fetal malformations and loss. Women of child‑bearing potential must use effective contraception. Limited data exist for breastfeeding; the drug is generally avoided while nursing.

Methotrexaat Sandoz should be stored below 25 °C, in the original packaging, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use if the packaging is damaged.
How is Methotrexaat Sandoz administered?+
The medication is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, but patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions regarding timing and whether a folic‑acid supplement is recommended.
What are the most serious risks to watch for while taking Methotrexaat Sandoz?+
Key serious risks include severe liver toxicity, pulmonary fibrosis or interstitial pneumonitis, life‑threatening infections due to bone‑marrow suppression, and renal failure. Patients should report persistent cough, jaundice, unusual bruising or signs of infection promptly.
